Great greart band!
The only time I saw the Dead live. My girlfriend, later (now sadly deceased) wife. Was not a fan before this show. She was after. They were the most musically accomplshed band I'd ever seen at that point, and all those great left-field songs. Bobby's second guitar parts go way beyond mere 'rhythm'. When Jerry said, "We're makin' a record man." we all got excited. I had to wait nigh on 40 years for the release. A brilliant, energetic opening version of Greatest Story Ever told followed by a set that includes what were then new to the repertoire songs like Tennisee Jed and Brown Eyed Women. Sweet pedal steel on Looks Like Rain. Thanks for finally releasing this set guys. Like the rest of the Europe '72 tour, the band were cookin'.
